The Southern States did not secede until 1860 due to the work of Henry Clay, "The Great Compromiser". His efforts included things like the Compromise of 1850 and the Kansas-Nebraska Act.

How would you use Confederate States in a sentence?

Use Confederate States when referring to the Confederate States of America from the US Civil War. It is a noun and a proper name so it should be capitalized as United States is capitalized. In the example: Three Confederate states did not secede from the Union until May of 1861, Confederate again would be capitalized but states would not be. This is because states in this case does not refer to the whole Confederacy. It is like: There are 50 states in the United States.

What is the meaning of your candidate did not secede defeat until this morning?

This word for this is a malapropism--someone has used the wrong word mistakenly for the right one. What the person meant to say was "Your candidate did not concede defeat until this morning." To concede is to admit defeat; your candidate waited until this morning to admit that the other fellow won the election. To secede is to break away from, or to form a splinter group. It's what the Confederate States did in the American Civil War.
